About this plugin
SteerWP is the free, open-source master plugin in the SteerWP suite. Install it on the WordPress site you use to run your agency. Add each client as a record, connect their websites via the free SteerWP Connector plugin, and (optionally) extend it with paid add-ons for proposal generation, site-health reporting, accessibility audits, lead attribution, and more.
What you get in the free version
- Unlimited clients, contacts, and connected sites
- Activity log with internal and client-visible entries
- Document store with internal and client-visible documents
- White-label branding propagated to every connected client site
- Custom roles (Agency Admin, Agency Team) for your staff
- Add-on registry for clean integration with paid extensions
- A complete REST API for connecting your own tooling
Branded client dashboard
When you connect a client site with the free SteerWP Connector plugin, that site gets a new top-level admin menu — a branded dashboard showing the client every proposal, report, audit, training video, and document you have produced for them. No separate client portal, no new logins. Visibility is controlled by a single custom capability on the client site.
Extending with paid add-ons
SteerWP is designed to be extended. Paid add-ons that plug into it include (sold separately):
- Proposal Builder — branded proposals with e-signatures and PDF export
- Site Health Reporter — monthly automated health snapshots per site
- AI Accessibility Auditor — WCAG audits with prioritised remediation
- Lead Attribution Tracker — UTM-to-form-submission attribution
- Brand Kit Manager — per-client brand kits, one-click apply
- Page Speed Optimizer — before/after visual diff and optimisation
- Client Training Video Library — per-client video library inside their dashboard
- Auto-Generated User Docs — tailored, auto-refreshing user manuals
